OOZING EGG OPENED

[gsophia]

I opened up 2 eggs that began to ooze and it was 1 duck one chick. The duck was just a black liquid and the chick was just a yolk. In both there was no growing chick/duck that i could see. What did I do wrong P.S. its day 14

I personally have never had a egg ooze but I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) if it is oozing it is because of bacteria in the egg. The egg may or may not have been fertile - especially since you say that you did not see anything inside. Did you candle your eggs earlier on? You say that it is day 14... I am wondering if you candled them and saw a blood ring?

Leaving eggs in that are oozing I think are in danger of exploding.

It doesn't sound to me like the eggs were oozing in the nest, but that the poster opened them after getting them out of the nest. I'd say the black liquid was a bacterial problem, and the other was that it was infertile. Though, I have opened a clear egg before to find that it had the bullseye -- for some reason, though, it just didn't even start forming. I've only seen this once, though.

When i candeled the eggs in the ealier days of incubation there were no blood veins or rings at all and they all seemed to be infirtle but i let them stay in the incubator because this is my first hatch. I started with 12 chciken and 6 ducks and now have 3 ducks 6 chickens (eggs)

Oozing eggs aka stink eggs need to be removed carefully., and sealed in a plastic bag. If they explode they send bacteria everywhere. You really don't want that to happen inside. You were lucky they didn't explode.
